Small victories: That’s what the Edmonton Oilers are playing for now that they are out of the 2018 National Hockey League playoff chase.
Yes, it has been a disappointing season for the Oilers and their fans, given many people believed the team could improve on their 103-point performance last year and make a run at the Stanley Cup final.
Keeping morale up over the final quarter of the NHL season will be a challenge, but even though the Oilers don’t have a lot to play for in the standings, all of the players are still professionals and are competitive by nature.
